If you want you recordings to sound out of this world, this is the guy you want because he's not from this planet... There is no other guy you want for basslines, than BassLines! There's a reason he has multiple awards... You've heard his voice in tons of things, so he's already subconsciously in your head. Boom! Super fun, super cool and just a great guy to be around! Glad to call him friend!

I have known/worked with BassLines for well over 5 years. His vocal acumen, wealth of knowledge and experience makes him second to none in his craft. If you're looking for a pristine bass/baritone vocal, voice-over, or vocal arrangements look no further. In fact, I guarantee you've heard his voice on some of your favorite national commercials, blockbuster films, or network animation series.
